Yes! I love them. Love the video, kinda reminds me of Harry Potter lol. I've got two of their songs. "Dress" which, I'm told, is a cover for some other band...Buck...something. I can't remember and I have "Stay Away" which is not a cover to L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Stay Away" as I thought. It's their own song and it's all in English! Takanori's English is very good. ^_^

Yeah, but I've heard Innocent Sorrow and Freak Show. I like them and I hope ABS will release a lot more stuff.

HEY HEY! Guess what I got in the mail today! Abingdon Boys School single...the song Fre@K $How...yes, written like that, has some weird lyrics...

TV is on, and I am talking on the phone
PC is left on too, all at the same time
No space on the floor, I could open a store
Itfs almost four, questions on my mind

If I lose eem all, what would happen to me?
Ainft no sleepless night, itfs ainft gonf kill me
If I lose eem all, what would happen to me?
Whatfs the big deal? I am all I need

Tigers following me, spiders watching me
As if theyfre my friends, waiting for me to sleep
Words they throw at me, are bringing me down
But Ifm reaching out, toward a higher ground

If I lose eem all, what would happen to me?
Ainft no sleepless night, itfs ainft gonf kill me
If I lose eem all, what would happen to me?
Whatfs the big deal? I am all I need

Just throw them away
Take all away
Too heavy if you wanna win the game
Get out of my way
Take it if you want (Bring it on!)

Just throw them away
Take all away
They got a better place to go anyway
Get out of my way
Take it if you want

Just throw them away
Take all away
Too heavy if you wanna win the game
Get out of my way
Take it if you want (Thatfs gFre@K $HoWh)

Just throw them away
Take all away
Too heavy if you wanna win the game
Get out of my way
Take it if you want (Bring it on!)

Just throw them away
Take all away
Too heavy if you wanna win the game
Get out of my way
Take it if you want (Bring it on!)

Just throw them away
Take all away
They got a better place to go anyway
Get out of my way
Take it if you want


...I typed them EXACTLY! how they are in the cover...don't ask me...I'd say he went a little rhyme happy in the first part of it!

those lyrics of Fre@K $How, that song, are weird and i've heard in youtube is sooooo weird, i specially like him singing in japanese and not in english and why does his band members look so old????

thanks for the pics FreakyD

:-) Primela-chan:-)

MiaCarlax
Jan 19, 2007, 04:37
I reckom they are old
toshiyuki kishi looks well weird
the one with the blonde hair
proper scary! LOL

still good songs though

primelajule
Jan 19, 2007, 04:41
They are scary
Why?!!?! why?!?!?! why?!?!?! Takanori-san why old guys special weird ones wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????? ?
And they are NOT EVEN hot
(taking a deep breaths)

:-) Primela-chan:-)

MYV_ANCafe_Lover
Jan 19, 2007, 05:26
U have forgotten that Takanori is an old guy (well not that old but u kno <_<) He's 36 and the others are 37...
It doesn't matter if theyre old as long as they sound good it doesnt really matter. Sure if they were hot it would be a plus but i dont really care, it doesnt make me like them any less
Thanks for the pics freakyD!

MiaCarlax
Jan 19, 2007, 05:31
Thats not that old tbf, but they look old for their age I reckon?

They just arent that attractive, but like MYV_ said, it doesnt really matter
cause they do make good music

they look sexy in the PV thou I must admit!

otaku623
Jan 19, 2007, 06:33
Yea, hi. Some of my posts got moved from the T.M. Revolution thread...hmm, well, I like this one too!

Hi all!

Agreed, age doesn't matter, they make good music! HYDE is a good example!

Yes, they look VERY good in the PV...I like their "uniforms"! They look good!

MiaCarlax
Jan 19, 2007, 07:42
Yer they do look cool in their uniforms!
I looked on their merch on their website
and its really expensive to buy the stuff similar to what they wore
like REALLY expensive, for what it is anyway!

Not a fan of hyde, but i still respect him as an artist, for what he does. If you get me?

Tailsop
Jan 20, 2007, 12:38
This is awsome i hope my band becomes as great as them and all the other jrock bands.

primelajule
Jan 23, 2007, 01:34
Well what i was trying to say is that Takanori-sama doesnt look old, the others they do show their age,
and ofcourse aslong as they sing well and have good songs am/we going to like

:-) Primela-chan:-)

Ettawen
Jan 23, 2007, 09:10
I think Takanori is beautiful! Ok I'm just gonna say it...he's freakin' HOT! I would link you to some really hot pics of him but I don't have enough posts yet to give you links to "thrid party" sites. (Stupiest rule ever but whatever) The man does not look a day over 25, if that...^_^

I dunno if this was mentioned (ya I know....I should check...but I'm too lazy)
Abingdon Boys School will be releasing a new single called Nephilim.
It was apparently used in the intro theme for the playstation game "FolksSoul - Ushinawareta Densho."
Sounds like it's going to be cool:-)

Hello,
I'm a newbie here but i really like abingdon boys school so i thought i could help to revive thread.
I found the mp3 of Nervous breakdown yesterday so i thought i would share
but i don't have enough posts yet to add url. Hope it'll work like that

www[dot]megaupload.com/fr/?d=GJYABNYG

Although here are the lyrics

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN - Abingdon Boys School

Tell me why, you never gonna take the ride
Don't know why, you never gonna stay in sight
I just wanna know what the hell is goin' down
What can i do to make you feel right
What kinda fool if i make you cry
Give me a break!
You'd better change your stupid ways
Before i go away
I just wanna hold you tight
I just wanna feel your sigh
Wanna be with you tonight
So baby, don't let me down
I know how to satisfy
I know you want me tonight
Never show me what's inside
You cause my nervous breakdown
Time is right, I'm gonna get you playin' high
It's alright, I'm gonna get you shinin' bright
Really wanna know what the hell you're feelin' now
What can i do to make you feel right
What kinda fool if i make you cry
Give me a break!
You'd better change your stupid ways
Before i fade away
I just wanna treat you right
I just wanna see your eyes
Wanna kiss you through the night
So baby, don't let me down
I know how to satisfy
I know you want me tonight
Never show me what's inside
You cause my nervous breakdown
You drive me crazy
Soon i will make you down
Tell me why, you never gonna take the ride
Don't know why, you never gonna stay in sight
Give me a break!
You'd better change your stupid ways
Before i go away
I just wanna hold you tight
I just wanna feel your sigh
Wanna be with you tonight
So baby, don't let me down
I just wanna treat you right
I just wanna see your eyes
Wanna kiss you through the night
I know how to satisfy
I know you want me tonight
Never show me what's inside
You cause my nervous breakdown

So...could someone help me with it???

Jun 5, 2007, 14:14
Hello everyone. I was going to make a thread about a.b.s. actually, if someone else didn't. Unfortunately I don't have Mimizuku, and the only song I know of theirs so far is Fre@k $how, from a Death Note movie tribute soundtrack I bought. I guess I need to hear their cover of Dress, but I love the original BUCK-TICK one as well.

Nan Desu Ka
Jun 5, 2007, 16:45
here check this website, they've got both the innocent sorrow single and the new howling single, both are really good =]

http://www.blekbox.org/box/index.php?s=Abingdon+Boys+School

I've heard the cover of dress, I really liked it, but I never heard the orig. version by buck-tick so I cant really compare.

soledark
Jun 5, 2007, 22:16
:souka: mimizuku ? ain't it a song by Ayabie?

I have both Dress versions and personally i prefer the A.B.S. one.
I think you can listen to the original one by Buck Tick with this link.

http://www.radioblogclub.fr/open/46923/buck_tick/BUCK-TICK%20-%20Dress

and here by Abingdon Boys School:

I don't think I like their version as much, but it's okay. Atsushi's voice was really what made it enjoyable for me in the old one.

Amita

I suddenly found the lyrics for the new single! ^___^
So, enjoy!

Nephilim Hanatareta tsubasa ga negai wo makichirashite
Konoyo no hate otoshita inori no sora e to
Sono hitomi ni utsusu no wa kaketa tsuki no rasen
Nazoru yubi ga tadoritsuku basho wo sagashiteru
Dakiau tabi yojireru hada to binetsu wo
Musaboru you ni mata mune wo shimetsukeru
Hanatareta tsubasa ga negai wo makichirashite
Konoyo no hate otoshita inori no sora e to
Yoru no fuchi ni saku hana wo mimi e oshiatete
Hibiku machi no zawameki ni toiki wo kasaneta
Ima mo nijimu ano hi hagureta kioku ga
Kareta hazu no itami wo kizu ni kaeta
Karisome no tsubasa de habataku inochi no hi wa
Aragau tsumi wo sashite omoi wa kimi e to
Chinurareta tsubasa wa mai agari kaze ni nari
Ikusen ni kudakareta chikai wo sora e to
Karisome no tsubasa de habataku inochi no hi wa

Lost Reason Lyrics
I've been asking to myself,
What this crazy feeling means to me?
I need so much more than I can give
Trying not to think of you
Tell me where you have been hiding out
There must be something I can do
Suddenly, I realize the way to go from now on
I can see, now
Wanna do I wanna do
Take you all the way now
You are the reason I'm alive
I can't take this any longer honey, please don't say good-bye
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go make me cry
Can't you just change your mind?
I've been talking to myself,
What this dizzy feeling means to me?
You need so much more than you can give
Trying not to look for you
Tell me what you have been keeping up
There must be somewhere I can go
Finally,I realize the way to go from now on
I can feel, now
Wanna do I wanna do
Take you all the way now
I am the reason you're alive
I can't take this any longer honey, don't leave me alone
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go play on me
Speak with your true mind
Just one wish, before you deny yourself
Stay with me, till I get high enough
You are the reason I'm alive
I can't take this any longer honey, please don't say good-bye
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go make me cry
Can't you just change your mind?
Just one wish, before you deny yourself
Stay with me, till I get high enough

Woot~ Woot~ ABS rocks! ^_________^

three great singles plus a great cover song, it's time for these guys to be working on an album, if not a full album, at the very least a mini album....something other than another single XDD

lol I was just looking at some information from ABS's last single "Howling" and it turns out that the b-side on that single "Nervous Breakdown" is entirely in english too XDD. I had never had the b-side to Howling, only the title track, but Nervous Breakdown is great too =]

if anyone wants that single just ask ^^

I suddenly found the lyrics for the new single! ^___^
So, enjoy!
Nephilim Hanatareta tsubasa ga negai wo makichirashite

Lost Reason Lyrics
I've been asking to myself,
What this crazy feeling means to me?
I need so much more than I can give
Trying not to think of you
Tell me where you have been hiding out
There must be something I can do
Suddenly, I realize the way to go from now on
I can see, now
Wanna do I wanna do
Take you all the way now
You are the reason I'm alive
I can't take this any longer honey, please don't say good-bye
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go make me cry
Can't you just change your mind?
I've been talking to myself,
What this dizzy feeling means to me?
You need so much more than you can give
Trying not to look for you
Tell me what you have been keeping up
There must be somewhere I can go
Finally,I realize the way to go from now on
I can feel, now
Wanna do I wanna do
Take you all the way now
I am the reason you're alive
I can't take this any longer honey, don't leave me alone
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go play on me
Speak with your true mind
Just one wish, before you deny yourself
Stay with me, till I get high enough
You are the reason I'm alive
I can't take this any longer honey, please don't say good-bye
Remember the night I held you tight
Before you go make me cry
Can't you just change your mind?
Just one wish, before you deny yourself
Stay with me, till I get high enough
Woot~ Woot~ ABS rocks! ^_________^

^ same here, I felt super sleepy watching those Aussie bands playing monotonous songs. I was only awake when it came to Japan, it was more hardcore in Tokyo concert. The band Rizer or something was good too! And Abingdon boys school rocked! Did they merely perform 2 songs? They wore Nephilim outfits so i thought they must have performed Nephilim too! I wanna see Nephilim live X3

nope, they've only released 3 singles so far, namely
INNOCENT SORROW - 06 Dec 2007
HOWLING - 16 May 2007
NEPHILIM - 04 July 2007

Nervous Breakdown & Nephilim are on top of my list~!! :cute:

sugoi_aki erm.. hi! lol.. yea the LiveEarth aired over at our side only showed 2 songs from ABS... which really was disappointing cos i was hoping to catch their full set.. but well... guess there's still not enough demand for J-Rock & Indies in Singapore yet. Its always J-Pop artists & J-Boybands being seen in the limelight. i do listen to J-Pop too but not much. i'm more hooked on indies, rock & VK... :lol:

I'm new to the band so what is TMR?

Nan Desu Ka
Jul 19, 2007, 21:26
yeah sure, chek your pm in about 1 min =]


TMR is T.M.Revolution which means Takanori Makes Revolution which is the solo project of Abingdon Boys School lead singer Takanori Nishikawa

TMR was around for like ten years before he started ABS

RevengeBabyYeah
Jul 20, 2007, 00:39
Thanks alot:D
I swear I've said this before but you seem to know practically everything there is to know about JRock!
Oooooh so that's what it is. Never heard any of his music but once I saw a picture of him dressed up as a woman. He looked so beautiful!:D

Nan Desu Ka
Jul 20, 2007, 15:21
lol yeah that'd be takanori :D

i kinda describe TMR as "J-tecno pop rock" it's got a bit of rock, pop, and tecno/dance music all combined into one

RevengeBabyYeah

BIG NEWS!

abingdon boys school have announced the release of their first album. Currently untitled, the album is set to go on sale on October 10th and will contain the band's first three singles and two tracks previously recorded for other releases: stay away, from a NANA image album, and Dress from a BUCK-TICK tribute album. A limited edition of the CD will include a bonus DVD containing three music videos and be housed in a special box, while the first press of the regular edition will include a photo booklet.

man I cant wait for this!!!

They have like 8 songs out right? I wonder if they are all gonna be on the album.

Nan Desu Ka
Aug 3, 2007, 03:24
as far as I know, the b-sides of the three singles wont be on it, just the title tracks plus dress and stay away, I certainly hope all 8 wouldn't be on it, that'd only give us 4 new songs, the majority of an album needs to be new songs so I'm guessing like I said it'll be the 5 former songs and 7 new songs

Gazerocks
Aug 9, 2007, 16:49
@NDK: Woah. I agree with Revenge. U do know a lot about Jrock! woah....eat,sleep, breathe jrock? hehe.

The first song I heard fr abs was Nephilim. I was expecting the begining to be very rockish, thn turned out to be the melodic piano playing. The band...caught my attention. hahas. their music is nice! And I must say, these near 40 yr old dudes sure can rock. Can't imagine they are almost e same age as my father. -.-!

Nan Desu Ka
Aug 9, 2007, 16:57
yeah Takanori is getting up there in age, he's 36 =] But Hyde of L'arc-en-ciel is like 38 lol so clearly somehow jrockers have found the fountain of youth cause I dont know anybody that old that looks that good lmao.

I guess when I find something I love, I dive into it head first and get to know everything I can about it, and when it comes to j-rock, it's at the top of my list!

Gazerocks

Aug 9, 2007, 22:01
I just listened to nervous breakdown. Takanori's english is good! Has he learnt english before? Japanese singers often can't pronounce english well...like Shou. No offence, I like alice nine's music. But listening to stray cat, I could'nt make out the words till I saw the lyrics. lol. But there are of cuz Jrockers who are proficient in english. Like yoshiki...he's very good!

FrostPixie
Aug 10, 2007, 01:53
I was going to wait until the album is out before posting on here, but October is just too far away...

I admit, I heard of them before I started listening to them and I didn't want to look them up because their name made them sound...well, like a busted/McFly-esque band. Or at the very least, an An Cafe clone (cute-sy, etc.). But when I got bored I looked them up and...wow. It's like reading a horror story with a flower-y cover.

I know it's not their own song, but I adore Dress and can't stop listening to it. I've been reading Pet Shop of Horrors and it sounds like the kind of song (musically) that would be on a soundtrack to it.

Gazerocks
Aug 10, 2007, 07:50
@FrostPixie: WHen i saw their band name, I thought they would be cute-sy like An cafe too! Haha. Then I saw their photos ....I was like WTF? Some old man trying to rock? hAHA. But after recommendation fr my fren, (she watches D-grey man or smth lidat, the anime which played ABS' song), I think the vocals and the music are superb!

P.S I rmb busted! tt was long ago. too bad they died. hahas

Nan Desu Ka
Aug 10, 2007, 08:56
I knew about Takanori from his TMR days and I always thought he was a very talented singer, I remember first hearing about ABS wondering what Takanori would be like in a rock band, but I gave them a chance and bought the Innocent Sorrow single and it freakin rocked! I was sold on Abingdon Boys School ever since. And they've only continued to get better and better since! Each new release that they've come out with has showed more and more talent.

RevengeBabyYeah
Aug 11, 2007, 06:15
F*ck me these are guys are GOOD. Would love to go to a concert of theirs. I liked the name, only heard of them through Live Earth.

album comes out in just a couple weeks! :D I've been doing some research and found out there will be 6 old songs (Stay Away, Dress, Innocent Sorrow, Howling, Nephilim, and Lost Reason) and 6 new songs (As One, Via Dolorosa, Down to You, Desire, Rebirth + Reverse, and Atena) it's a little dissapointing that their first album has only 6 new songs, but apparently they made up for it because they just announced a new single titled "Blade Chord" will be releasing less then two months later on December 5,2007.

Here's a little description of the new single

"Fourth single release from abingdon boys school composed by Sunao, features a loud and aggressive tone and complex lyrics from Takanori Nishikawa!"

and also it will serve as the opening theme for the SENGOKU BASARA 2 Eiyû Gaiden - HEROES game

I guess there are more versions of Lost Reason? Anyway though I really like that song on the album. Haha the rapping somehow gets me pumped with that awesome riff in the background...and of course TM's vocals are great.

Can't wait to hear future stuff by them ^__^

Someone mentioned Dress a few pages back, and I gotta say that's my favorite ABS song of the few I've heard. (Although I still prefer the Buck-Tick original.) :cool:

it is an easy song to play also the guitar solo's are unbeatable at times.

Haha. Fair enough. I'll probably wear the CD out anyway. I listen to music while I sleep. I've been wearing Hyde's Faith album down for about a year now. Looks like I'll be using Abingdon from now on!

Quite weird. It's nice to have the background noise though. It's just nice waking up in the middle of the night and hearing nice music. ^_^

not much really, I think they are taking a break for a while now because Takanori is starting up TMR again, he's performing a concert as TMR in New York sometime soon so I can only imagine he's gonna do some solo stuff this year...

Feb 27, 2008, 03:03
ah, but i still prefer the sound of ABS rather than TMR...
wonder when their next release will be!~

Should there be a new album coming out? Blade chord and Freak Show aren't on the first album... so I presume there's a new one in the works. God knows though.

Nan Desu Ka
Mar 13, 2008, 01:56
probably not for a year, they wouldn't release a new album so soon after their first. I truly think this year will be TMR, then maybe next year Taka will go back to ABS. Just like Hyde and L'arc~en~Ciel

Kirie_Maiden
Mar 13, 2008, 03:36
Yeah, probably. Good point. I hope that wasn't ABS's first and only album. I prefer their sound to TMR.

Tailsop
Mar 13, 2008, 04:09
i agree ABS should just make remix's of TMR songs. like a ABS version of Zips

Kirie_Maiden
Mar 13, 2008, 20:10
That could be pretty cool. Just make them all a little bit better by adding an ABS twist. Yeah!

TMR has some pretty cool songs too, it would be awesome to hear rock versions

Grr, wish I could be there. We never get any decent Cons over here, which usually means we can't have any guest appearances from J-Rockers. In October, there's a Con over here with special guest stars, Puffy Ami Yumi. Blergh.
